Then you're killing an entire city to save one child. And that's even more immoral.

Sure, at killing a child for something that might save a city might be the most immoral choise, but your example goes into the tragic genocidal vallain territory (it's usually thier child).
Let me expand the example.

An army besieging a city gives the governors of the city an ultimatum, kill one single child or see the entire city destroyed. The besiegers are trying to get the city to commit an evil act, the people who agree will be selfish, immoral. They want to save their own lives. If the whole city accepts sacrifice then they will all die, but they die clean and the besiegers lose. If they kill the child the besiegers win.
